In a press release issued today, the European Transport Safety Council issued a call for Governments within the EU to set targets for reducing serious injuries on our roads.

 

"In addition to the 39,000 people killed in road collisions in the European Union, about 1,700,000 people are recorded as injured in police reports each year, among them 300,000 seriously. For every road death in the EU, at least 44 road injuries are recorded, of which eight are serious."
